Not sure where this belongs and I know it has been touched on before. Just thought it might help the newbies to hear some syncronation protocals that everyone else uses.
I use CIDR's.
Give a shot of GnRH the day I insert the CIDR=day 0
pull CIDR and give lute (or equivelant) on day 7
**breed on standing heat
I also use the estrus alert patches. Red for first heat, when I breed they get a pink one so I know if the bull covered them or if they stuck AI.
I will admit to using the CIDR's more than once. Heifers get the new ones and cows that haven't shown heat yet. Cows that have cycled get the recycled ones. I do not use them 3 times.
